A University of Colorado student who was arrested in Hawaii on suspicion of sexual assault in December had his bond set at $50,000 today after turning himself in at the Boulder County Jail.

Nicholas Philip Foti, 21, was booked on suspicion of sexual assault, first-degree burglary and sexual contact. He is due for a formal filing of charges Thursday.

According to police, a 19-year-old woman claims that, in September, Foti and another man came to her home during the early morning hours looking for one of her roommates. The victim told police that Foti and the other man entered the residence without her permission and when Foti realized she was alone, he sexually assaulted her.

The victim told police Foti and the other man called her obscenities during the attack, vandalized her kitchen and smashed a bicycle before leaving.

The victim reported the incident in December, and Foti was arrested shortly after while visiting family in Hawaii. Foti was not extradited and was allowed to return to Boulder on his own before turning himself in at the jail.

Foti and two friends were arrested on animal cruelty charges in Boulder in November 2011 after witnesses said they killed a raccoon using a machete and baseball bat. Foti, who told police he was the first one to strike the animal, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor animal cruelty in August and was sentenced to 12 months of probation.

The Boulder alt-country band gives its EPs names such as Death and Resurrection, and its songs bear the mark of hard truths and sin. But the punk energy behind the playing, and the sense that it's all in good fun, make it OK to dance to a song like "Death." Full Story
